I cant help but feel this is some sort of password reset question farming…
Anyway,
ZX BASIC SUSE Linux 6.1
First OS: Windows 3.1 running on top of MS-DOS 6.2
First Linux distro: Ubuntu (forgot the version, but it was circa 2018).
If I’d count an OS/Linux distro that I’ve used even if not in a machine I own, it’d be Linux Mint of circa 2006.
Technically it was Kali on a VM. But I had absolutely no clue what I was doing (I was 9 years old) so I gave up.
Then I tried Ubuntu to get past my parental controls. Same thing.
Eventually had success with Mint 5 years later. Never looked back.

- PopOS
Roughly in order of appearance. Personal devices only. I used many more for work.
For operating systems in general, my first computer ran Windows 95.
For my first Linux distro, that’d be Debian 12 Bookworm.
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. 2007. I was looking for new and exotic ways to avoid writing papers.
my first was windows for workgroups 3.11 with msdos 6.22 back in 1994; later upgraded to windows 95.
my first linux as mandrake linux (aka mandriva) in 2002 on kernel 2. i use linux fulltime now and no longer own a windows computer.
First operating system was DOS 4 or 5, I think. On big 5.25” floppy disks on an 8088. Unless we’re counting whatever was running on a commodore vic20.
My first Linux distribution was Red hat Linux, somewhere around 1997, 1998 and I had a really tough time getting it installed.
I also once had a trial version of os/2 warp. Which was fun but pointless.
There’s a few things from dos that have a permanent place my soul. A:/KEEN.exe, idkfa, iddqd and gorillas.
First Linux: tails First os: XP
Comodore 64 os in the late 80’s then msdos, win 3.1, etc. First Linux distro i believe was either slackware or debian.
First OS was Windows XP and first Linux distro was Raspbian (now Raspberry Pi OS), but on my main computer the first distro I used regularly was Ubuntu
First OS was C64’s Commodore KERNAL/BASIC 2.0 GEOS, if that even counts as an OS, the next was Amiga 500’s AmigaOS
First Linux distro was Fedora
DOS/Win3.1 I was pretty young. It was far back enough that it was still common to find Apple II’s in my grade-school classrooms off to the side for when we had downtime. I regret that I was just a little too young to experience the Commodore 64 craze.
First OS was DOS. Then Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, then Debian when this happened.
Hahahah what a story
Windows vista
Was the worst
Then xp, 7, 10
Then I saw teachings of Prophet Stallman
Switched to manjaro (too buggy), pop OS (good) finally a fedora user (the penguin guide me)
